Java & Korea part 1

Javanese are an ethnic group native to the Indonesian island of Java. And I happen to be one of them.
As you must've known by now, I'm also into K-thing.
So I'm a bit surprised. The more I watch Korean shows, I find that I (as a Javanese) can relate to them quite well.
Java and Korea have lots of things in common.

1. Bow
Korean people bow a lot, don't they? Well, Javanese do that too. I never noticed it before -- maybe because it's already a habit. But one day, after swarming myself with Korean shows, I went to celebrate Xmas in my neighborhood. There, I saw people doing exactly the same as what I watched on screen earlier. My mom said hi to someone, and they bowed to each other.
Days later, I caught myself bowing to an elder at a bakery shop. She just greeted my mom, but I don't know her. I thought to myself, "Oh, I do that too." And then, here's the shocking part.. she bowed back at me. Wow! I didn't expect that.

Baker King : Kim Tak Goo

So, it's holiday....!!
I already have a long to-do-list for this three-week holiday. Most of them have something to do with some pushed-aside dramas that I had no chance watching during effective days. Ah, I will be so busy then. You can leave message on my door if I'm too busy to meet you.
*chuckling*

Near the end of this semester, my twinnie and I downloaded a series of Korean drama called Baker King: Kim Tak Goo. It is also known as King of Baking or Bread, Love, and Dream.

Well, it's not the title that draw our hearts to the drama. We're not some bakery-product addict. So, why would we devote many hours of our hectic morning to collect all the episodes? It's rather because of the impressive reputation of Baker King. Regarded as national drama that reached almost 50% of viewer rating each time it aired, Baker King easily defeated My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho. It surprised me how a drama starring national boyfriend, Lee Seunggi, can be less popular than a cooking show? That's why I decided to watch it.

♥ YongSeo ♥ in Danger

Annyeong!

Hi guys! Can you guess what I'm going to talk about?
Well, just in case you miss the title up there, I'll tell you.
I'm going to talk about my favorite topic :

♥ YongSeo ♥

Well, actually I've wanted to post this so long time ago. Really. But laziness just got in the way. Today is one rare occasion where I don't feel that lazy.
So, here we go.

At that time (when I was too lazy to write this), I was worried about YongSeo. Why? Because they're both irresistible. It's hard to have an adorable spouse, isn't it?

This video shows the list of Seohyun's celebrity fanboys.

Among them are 2AM's Jinwoon ( surprise! surprise! :p ), Suju's Leeteuk, and SHINee's Minho.

The Alienated Happiness

How would you feel...

when you are happy with something
but everyone doesn't seem happy for you?

What if they tell you to find another happiness
right from the moment they find out?

What if the reasons are just so out of reach
'cause it's already clung on you
since the day you were born?

Will you feel so powerless...??
